STX V - Software Settings
Printer options are set by entering selections through the menu. The software
setting command allows two of these option settings to be modified without
returning to the menu. Choosing the appropriate values allow the option(s) to
be turned ‘On’ or ‘Off’. Each has a corresponding bit whose value is 1 when
enabled. Enabling the Cutter bit selects ‘Cut’ Media Handling, and the Present
bit selects ‘Tear-Off’. Disabling the Cutter or Present bit selects the Factory-
Default media handling setting: ‘Continuous’ Media Handling.
The <STX>V command can be ignored by setting the DGL Advanced-User
menu ‘Soft. Switch (V)’ to Ignore.
STX v - Print Firmware Version Information
This command causes the printer to respond by sending a version string. The
version may be different from printer to printer (this data is the same as that
printed on the configuration label).
STX W - Request Memory Module Information
This command requests a directory listing for memory module(s). Although a
module can store font, graphics and format data together, it can display only
one type of information at a time. If the module contains all three types of
data, it will be necessary to check the directory three times, using each of the
control parameters, F, G, and L, to determine the contents.
STX X - Set Default Module
This command is used when downloading information to a module memory. It
is designed to allow the user to select between modules. If ‘C’ is entered to
select a memory bank, the data will go to the bank set by this command (Set
Default Module). See Chapter 3, Flash/Ram Module Compatibility.
STX x - Delete File from Module
This command removes a specific file from the specified module. The file
name is removed from the module directory and thus the file cannot be
accessed. The actual storage space occupied by the file is not released (this
only applies to the flash memory). The menu option ‘Optimize and Reboot’
can be used to reclaim all deleted file storage space.
STX y - Select Font Symbol Set
This command selects the scalable font symbol set. The selected symbol set
remains active until another symbol set is selected. Not all symbol sets can be
used with all fonts.
Label Formatting Command Functions
: - Set Cut By Amount
This command allows a predetermined number of labels to be printed before
a cut is initiated. This feature is useful when it is necessary to print an uncut
